Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The above-ground support structure of most plants is the stem. While some plants may have taproots, root hairs, leaves, or a combination of those as visible above-ground structures, they do not provide the primary support for the plant. The stem is responsible for holding up the leaves and flowers, conducting water and nutrients between the roots and leaves, and bearing the weight of the plant.
